"This week I spoke with patients and providers in Spokane about the importance of #RoeVWade & the urgent need to pass WHPA and protect the right to abortion at the federal level.

Here's what they had to say

.@PPGWNI's Dr. Bayuszik shared that in their Spokane affiliate, ~43% of abortion appointments are for out--of state patients & that's predicted to increase dramatically if #RoeVWade is overturned. She said this is an all-hands-on-deck moment--and they aren't backing down.

Emily is a local patient who imagines the kind of world where getting safe, caring health care isn't just a privilege, but a right. Emily was clear that we don't have more time to waste when it comes to protecting reproductive health care--and I agree.

Through Lili's work to break down health care barriers for the Latino community, she sees how important access to family planning is, including abortion--and how the pandemic has made it harder. Lili stressed that protecting access to abortion has never been more critical."
